Looks interesting but I keep getting "Preview error" (?)

The printf zero-padding should be a built-in feature, as dealing with lots of filename structures and date structures needs zero-padding.

I often end up doing things like "for i in $(seq -w 1 100); do.." in bash.

My preference would actually be that -r does automatic zero-padding to fit the widest number that will come out of the range, and another variant like -R would suppress that behavior; but it could also be an optional switch.

It might also be nice to have the code recognize when start is greater than end, like -r 10 1, and support backwards-counting.

In Lisp, those following programmers can simply macroexpand. With modern tools they can even do it inside their editor, co-located as replacement text in the same source file, connected to a live Lisp environment, if they wish.

A great example is Common Lisp's own LOOP macro - if someone's usage is difficult to understand, you simply ask Lisp to expand it into the more verbose non-LOOP fundamental calls, and you don't need to understand anything about LOOP. In fact you can replace the LOOP form with the expanded code.

That's a key difference from DSL's in most other languages where the DSL code is really data structures that are interpreted.

It might be useful if it remembered a bill for, say, 60 days, and could also comment on percent difference since the last one. "The total amount due on the bill is $83.89 which is 4% higher than last month's bill from the same company."

The CME offers Bitcoin futures which can be shorted if you have a futures trading account with a broker.

I use `!!` quite a bit to repeat the output of the prior command as an argument.

    # it's in my PATH but can't remember where
    which myscript
    vi `!!`

Ironically, AI may help get past that. In order to measure "value chunks" or some other metric where LoC is flexibly multiplied by some factor of feature accomplishment, quality, and/or architectural importance, an opinion of the section in question is needed, and an overseer AI could maybe do that.

But the method of due process may be different, and the standard of proof to meet may be different. Revoking a visa is easier for the executive branch to accomplish.

It's cool. Curious what libraries you're building on, from a web front-end perspective, to make the UI and charts etc?

Maybe before 'vagrant up' you run 'sudo chattr +i Vagrantfile' to make it immutable. Seems to disallow removal of the attribute inside the VM, but allow it outside.

It could've easily been defined that the else branch runs if the while condition never had a true value at all. In fact, I think that's more intuitive.

Bluefish has had a release in October 2025 and the development page talks about gtk-3. Are you sure you've kept up to date with it? If you like it, stick with it.

You don't like those? I've always considered them a fairly elegant deconstruction of the problem domain of equality checking. DWIM languages can get very confusing when they DWIM or don't DWIM.

And the last release was three weeks ago! Perl 5.42.0 was released July 3, 2025.

In fact, I recommend to newbies that their Lisp syntax highlighting shades the parentheses close to your background color. You get the best of both worlds: they fade away, but you can use Structural Editing.
